Basic "how to add newsletter to outbound email"

I'm certain that the instructions on how to add formated documents, like =
a=20
newsletter, to the text section of an outbound email are right under my=20
nose. I just can't see the forest for the trees.

I want to take a formated document (produced in Word or Publisher) and=20
copy it into the text area of mail. How do people do this?

My testing is being done with one of the proformated newsletter samples =
in=20
Word. After replacing the data with the information I want in the =
document,=20
I do a SELECT ALL, copy, and paste in the message area in Entourage, but =
all=20
I get is unformatted text. (I make sure that I have selected to display =

formated text in Entourage before doing the paste.)

What's the process to produce those formated ads, etc. we receive all =
the=20
time in our email?

You neglected to say what version of Entourage you're using. Office 2004 has
an option by which an HTML document can be sent through Entourage (File >
Send To Mail Recipient as HTML).

If a previous version of Entourage, see

In case you didn't know, the option Adam is referring to can be found in
Word if you want to send a open document in Word with Entourage.

Here¹s another way that will work with documents from any application: From
the Print dialog, choose the button at the bottom of the screen to ³Save as
PDF². Then drag the resulting PDF file into the BODY of the message in
Entourage. It will then appear in the message exactly as it would appear if
you sent them a printout of the document.

Eh, I'm not sure how many Windows email programs will display inline PDFs as
images. Or even Mac email programs, for that matter.

Any that support HTML messages should. To the best of my knowledge, that
includes all the MS mail programs for both Win and Mac. Programs that don¹t
show HTML won¹t show formatted documents in the correct format either.

Mail programs that don¹t show HTML should show the PDF will be available as
an attachment.

The PDF technique worked for me. This will be great for some of the =
stuff I=20
want to send, but there are a couple things I have been seeing in e-
marketing messages I've been getting.

One, which I think is very important for what I will want to do, is to =
have hot=20
links (unsubscribe, email us, web site, etc.) With the PDF technique =
the links=20
in the original document are not hot when copied to Entourage.

I went back to the first part of this thread to try the other way and, =
to be=20
honest, I'm not certain I follow. Here's a couple answers to the =
questions=20
added and what I have tried.

I have Entourage X SR1 (1-.1.4) I think the terminology Office 2004 is =
for=20
Windows versions. Anyway, I think I have the latest version for Mac but =
it=20
doesn't have the option to "send to mail recepient as HTML" in the File=20
menu. (Just a side note: I always figured I had the option to send HTML =
by=20
simply clicking the "Use HTML" formatting button just above the message=20
area.)

Given Mickey's clarification that the option was in Word, I went there =
and=20
didn't see that option in the File menu (again, I have Word X for Mac =
SR1. =20
Also, if there is a technique to do this from inside Word, will it use =
group=20
list(s) from Entourage?

So I'm kinda back to my original question: how do people get good =
looking=20
HTML documents into the message area of an email note (without using the =

PDF option)? We all are getting nice looking simple one-page email=20
advertisement "flyers" that seem to be fully functional HTML.

Stupid me thought that maybe it was just a copy (from Word) and paste =
(in=20
Entourage), but that doesn't seem to be working. Adam, Mickey, Ed, et. =
al., I=20
sure would like you to give it another try.

I appreciate you're help so far.

Hi Adam

I installed the Entourage X script at the link you provided. When I =
executed=20
it, it did successfully insert an HTML document in the message are, but =
it=20
was not a very clean version that came out the other end of the send. =
Some=20
of the work drawing objects were missing and text overlapped. I'll send =
a=20
note to the author, but it doesn't appear that's a workable solution.

Office 2004 is the Mac version that was released a few months ago. (Office
2003 is the latest Windows version.)

The option to ³Send to mail recipient as HTML² was added in Office/Word
2004; it was not part of Word X.

Office 2004 is available in the Student & Teacher edition for about $150, if
you are faculty or staff at an educational institution. Otherwise, the
upgrade of Standard edition is about $230. You might find it a little
cheaper if you shop around on the web.
